Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A shower rod assembly, comprising a shower rod connected with a water supply pipe, a shower head connected with the shower rod, and a retaining seat to secure the shower rod; the shower head having at least two water supply portions; the shower rod having at least two water passages therein to connect with the water supply portions of the shower head, respectively; the shower rod being provided with a water passage switch device, the water passage switch device having an inlet connecting with the water supply pipe and at least two outlets connecting with the two water passages of the shower rod, the water passage switch device being adapted to control interconnection of the two outlets and the inlet. 
     
     
         2 . The shower rod assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the water passage switch device comprises a valve seat, a valve core, a knob, and a lid; the two outlets being disposed at an upper end of the valve seat for connecting with the two water passages of the shower rod, the inlet being disposed at a lower end of the valve seat for connecting with the water supply pipe, one side of the valve seat being provided with the knob, the knob having a shaft to connect with the valve core of the valve seat, the knob being rotated to drive the valve core for switching waterways from the inlet to the two outlets of the valve seat, another side of the valve seat being provided with the lid. 
     
     
         3 . The shower rod assembly as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein a connecting seat is provided between the two outlets of the valve seat and the two water passages in the shower rod for connection of the two outlets and the two water passages in the shower rod. 
     
     
         4 . The shower rod assembly as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the valve seat of the water passage switch device has a side wall provided with an outlet which is interconnected with the outlet passage of the valve core. 
     
     
         5 . The shower rod assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the shower head and the shower rod are connected with a ball-shaped joint, the ball-shaped joint being hollow and having two separate waterways to interconnect with the two water passages in the shower rod and two inlets of the two water supply portions of the shower head, respectively. 
     
     
         6 . The shower rod assembly as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein a joint seat is provided between the shower rod and a connecting end of the ball-shaped joint for interconnecting with the water passages of the shower rod; the ball-shaped joint having a dividing ring formed with two through holes, the dividing ring having one end interconnecting with the two water passages of the shower rod and another end interconnecting with the two inlets of the two water supply portions of the shower head. 
     
     
         7 . The shower rod assembly as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein one of the through holes of the dividing ring is provided with a hose connector, the hose connector being connected with one end of a hose, another end of the hose being connected with the inlet of one of the two water supply portions of the shower head. 
     
     
         8 . The shower rod assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the water supply pipe is disposed on the top of the shower rod, and the shower rod further comprises another water passage to connect with the inlet of the water passage switch device. 
     
     
         9 . The shower rod assembly as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the water passage switch device comprises a valve seat, a valve core, a knob, and a lid; the two outlets and the inlet being disposed at an upper end of the valve seat for connecting with the three water passages in the shower rod, the inlet being connected with the water supply pipe through one of the water passages in the shower rod, one side of the valve seat being provided with the knob, the knob having a shaft to connect with the valve core in the valve seat, the knob being rotated to drive the valve core for switching waterways from the inlet to the outlets of the valve seat, another side of the valve seat being provided with the lid. 
     
     
         10 . The shower rod assembly as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the valve seat has another outlet at a side wall thereof for connecting with outlet passages of the valve core. 
     
     
         11 . The shower rod assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the water passages of the shower rod are in the form of plastic hoses or nylon tubes.
